Résumé
In this study I discuss the matter of Spanish works about the history of death, reflecting on its historiographies and methodological models, the orientation of its aims and its location on a basic historical axis: the time-space axis. More than an exhaustive study of authors and works that might lead one to think about an over discussed topic, I bring to attention the need to incorporate individual perspective in the analysis of the experience of death and the integral use of the testamentary source, acknowledging its condition as a personal document, the recognition of which allows an approach to a most complex and nuanced subject.
